Speaker Bio
As Counsel, Knowledge Management & AI Innovation Manager for the Policy Operations team within Ford Motor Company's Office of the General Counsel, I lead efforts to modernize legal service delivery through technology and artificial intelligence. With eight years of experience spanning both law firm and in-house practice, I have built a career at the intersection of law and innovation, focusing on process optimization, legal technology adoption, and AI-driven solutions that enhance efficiency and outcomes for legal teams. At Ford, I partner with attorneys and business stakeholders across the organization to identify opportunities where emerging technologies can streamline workflows, reduce risk, and unlock institutional knowledge. My work reflects a broader passion for reimagining traditional legal operations to be more agile, data-informed, and future-ready. As a trusted voice on legal innovation, I am dedicated to helping legal departments and law firms alike navigate the evolving intersection of law, technology, and business strategy.
